"Buy or make some clay and then use it like you never have before."
I made some clay from flour, salt, and water (actually more like play-doh, let's be real here), and made this:

I love clay/pottery. Doing today's project reminded me of that love. I took a very short-term pottery class a couple of years ago. During that class, I discovered that I am crap at the potters' wheel; but also how amazing it is to form something out of clay. You get to beat the crap out of this hard, yet pliable, piece of earth, and then mold it until it becomes something beautiful. Even if it doesn't go the way you meant for it to go, sometimes it works itself out...or other times, you just smash it down again and start over. You usually end up with something decent, if not beautiful, if you just keep working at it.
Maybe it's about time to sign up for a pottery class again......
